The eternal duel between Ormuzd and Ahriman, God and Satan, is raging in my breast, which is one among their billion battlefields.
I am not likely to obtain the result flowing from the worship of God by laying myself prostrate before Satan.
God rules even where Satan seems to hold sway, because the latter exists only on God's sufferance.
Unless all the discoveries that you make have the welfare of the poor as the end in view, all your workshops will be really no better than Satan's workshops.
A fast to be true must be accompanied by a readiness to receive pure thoughts and determination to resist all Satan's temptations.
Since one Satan is one too many for me, I would not multiply him.
Satan's snares are mostly subtly laid and are the most tempting when the dividing line between right and wrong is so thin as to be imperceptible.
I have not hesitated to call the system of Government under which we are labouring 'satanic' and I withdraw naught out of it.
Armed conspiracies against something satanic is like matching Satans against Satan.
What crimes, for which we condemn the Government as satanic, have not we been guilty of towards our own untouchable brethren?
Anger and intolerance are the twin enemies of correct understanding
An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
An eye for an eye would make the whole world blind.
An eye for an eye and everyone shall be blind
